I’m sure they will. The more techno-sounding EP you have coming out, do you have a name for that?

Yeah, you are the first one I will tell. It’s called Donner, which means thunder in German, and it’s two tracks and the other track is called 'Ebertplatz', this is a place in Cologne, where we were born, so it’s Donner EP – Thunder EP.

That’s a good name for a techno EP. Do you think down the track you might have some collaborations with other artists you’ve worked with in the past on the label? Super Flu, perhaps?

There will definitely be features on our label. The first feature was Piper Davis, the vocalist, on 'Tosch'. We will team up with a lot of friends, hopefully. It’s always a matter of time and timing but, sure, and also we’re going to let our friends do remixes of our tracks so there will then be other producers on the Superfriends record label but not with originals only remixes. But to do features is something we really want to do.

And how did the Piper Davis collaboration come about?

We played a track of her and Matthew Dear’s in our Essential Mix for BBC radio and then she wrote us like “Hey, thanks for playing the song, super happy about it, etc,” and as we really liked the song and her voice we just asked her “Hey, do you wanna do a song with us?” and she was up for it and then we did a song. It was super easy we never met in person she was like sending the vocals and the first sketch she sent was already so perfect we were like “What the fuck? This is so great.” It’s cool. It’s very, very cool.

Are you able to tell us about any of the friends you might have appear on and do remixes for your label?

For the Tosch EP we’re planning with four remixers and two are not finished yet so I can’t really talk about them because I don’t know if it will happen, but if it does it’s going to be huge, and the two remixers who have already finished the remixes are Clavis and the other one is Acid Pauli which is very cool because we love both and the remixes are great. It’s a cool thing and it’s cool that those people trust in us because we didn’t meet any of them but we love what they do and we just asked “Hey, are you up for a remix?” and they were into it so that’s a good thing to see that people trust us or like our music and want to do a remix.
